    i want me old e mail format back and where is all my mail

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This NEW format is not workable! I would prefer to have the option of having the old one back!

  • Eileen Miller commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hate this new format. How do I get my old email format back? Why change things that don't need change.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thanks Carol for the instructions on getting the old one back

  • Lawrence Pope commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want my one step logon with password for my desktop rather than having to find my cell phone or open my OTHER email account to get a code! Very inconvenient, I should probably forget about yahoo after 21 years and just stick with google!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new mail is USELESS! I absolutely hate it! IS ANYONE AT YAHOO LISTENING? DOES ANYONE AT YAHOO EVEN CARE?

  • praveen sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    YOU GUYS ARE DESTROYING YAHOO MAIL. GO BACK TO CLASSIC NOW...!!!

  • praveen sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    I WANT THE OLD CLASSIC E-MAIL BACK. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE....

  • Jason Tran commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very bad new yahoo email design. Very inconvenient on the trash icon, which should be placed next to the search icon. All other news, finance icons, etc. are not readily available. Poorly new yahoo email design. I WANT MY OLD YAHOO EMAIL BACK.

  • Mary Krause commented  ·   ·  Report

    RETURN OPTION TO SWITCH BACK TO BASIC OR CLASSIC EMAIL TO THE 'SETTINGS'/TOOL BAR ICON MENU, ASAP. It's bothersome to have to tell Yahoo this again,,.and again...and again. I don't want the guy (or girl) who changes the email to this gmail imitation version to get paid for this inconvenience. Read the feedback below to see the many customers who have the same opinion.

    KRISTOF ERKILETIAN ( Below) has provided us with a way to return to Classic Mail.
    This works! The only way that I see it not working for any real length of time is
    if Yahoo/ Verizon decides to once again ruin and delete this superior email format!

  • Kristof Erkiletian commented  ·   ·  Report

    so AGAIN yahoo has kicked me off of accessing this forum..See story below.
    PLEASE HELP ME AND COPY/POST MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE when you comment:

    TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this:

    1) Open and log into sh*tty new Yahoo email if you aren't already
    2) Copy this text: https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails
    3) Open a new Chrome browser window while keeping sh*tty one open
    4) Paste the text into new brower window
    5) Close sh*tty new yahoo browser window
    6) if it worked, BOOKMARK copied link in new window (this is important as it will become your goto-button everytime you log in to get back to Classic)
    7) Raise middle finger of victory and KEEP SENDING YAHOO YOUR SENTIMENT

    Some here know that i've been posting these instructions for some time now. Recently i had to take an unexpected break. But i'm back again now. To post on these message boards requires a minimum age of 13 years old. Apparently Yahoo got sick of me posting this hack around their awful new system and actually went into my account and reduced my age to below 13 (!) Tuff gig to justify given i've had my yahoo acct more than 20 years. Perhaps they're trying to tell me that i'm being, uh, childish about continually helping people get back to Classic mail? Whatever. Interestingly however, this is NOT the first time that Yahoo staff has directly gone into my personal account and made changes due to my continually expressing outrage at their absolute blatant disregard for customer requests. They know that nobody wants these changes. They know good and well. "Gathering Feedback"..ha, ya right. But the fact is, they simply do not give a rats fat one.

    Why? Well there are a few reasons. One is that Yahoo has become an overly corporate controlled mess full of so called leaders who really don't know much what they're doing and have to justify their over-compensated pay rates somehow; hence "improvements" by said "experts" MUST be made. Another is that if they push the garbage new system for free they can then offer to do you the "favor" of changing it back if you pay for their service now. Heck you've registered your email and domain names with them so all your social and business contacts are used to reaching you in a certain way, so they figure why not use that control they have over the contacts YOU'VE built up over decades to force new changes on you, right? I mean after all, if you don't like it they can sit back smugly and say that you have options: to move to a new "provider". At your own time and expense. At your own efforts to inform all the contacts you've built up over years to adjust to your new info. No problem.

    But that's not the ultimate reason. The most fundamental ultimate underlying reason for all these garbage changes is something they really really don't want you or anyone to know about. If they did, they would simply state why it is they are forcing everyone to endure these changes without explanation. The real reason has to do with a new system that is monumentally easier for everything in it, (and i do mean EVERYTHING...everything typed, clicked, and sent) to be MONITORED. The new system includes extreme monitoring capabilities; everything you write in an email or message, or even write then edit and finally send, can be tracked and searched for patterns. Coupled with advanced computing capabilities, such patterns can be used to deduce nearly every detail about an individual. Routines, interests, contacts, just about everything really. This can be used in a variety of ways: advertisements tapered specifically to you, knowledge of your daily routines for tracking purposes, terrorism and natl security threat detection, U-name it. And while a ton of excuses can be used to justify all of this snooping, what it really boils down to is just flat out CONTROL. Try having a deep conversation with a typical CEO and you'll get an idea just how much control-freak paranoia characterizes those running anything at the top level.

    So i think people can protest here until they're blue in the fingertips about how much they dont want yahoo measuring thru every inch of **** that comes out our butts. Ultimately yahoo cares not at all what we want. But again, since i obviously in Yahoo's eyes have the mental level of a sub-13 year old, perhaps i'm just a whiny child with nothing really worthy to say. Right yahoo? Guess they'll just keep on trying to figure out ways to censor me. Whatever. If thats how i'm viewed, i might as well keep writing like a child. Yahoo: suck mine and swallow all nine. Try not to choke on the bone, yo. Have a nice day.

    Yahoo/ Verizon, Has anyone out there told you by feedback that they like this ''New''
    email format? No, they have not told you so. Now, listen to these customer complaints!
    You are being told as persuasively as possible that you had a ''Great'' email format but
    for whatever reason, you chose to throw it away and replace it with this ''Awful'' email
    format. Now tell us that you are doing something to rectify your mistake!

  • Mashewske Law commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to get the old format back!! how do I do that?

  • Guy Wood commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Please bring back Yahoo Classic as an option.
